Then they pulled the plantain leaves, those that grew by the path, to see which could draw out the longest 'cat-gut; the sinews, as it were, of the plant stretching out like the strings of a fiddle. In the next meadow the cows had just been turned into fresh grass, and were lazily rioting in it.
'Go on, if you please, Ma'am, and let me see it. So to the hall they went, and there, lying across the pegs from which Mr. Dangerfield's surtout and riding-coat depended, there certainly was a whip with the butt fashioned very much in the shape described by Captain Cluffe; but alas, no weapon a mere toy leather and cat-gut.
When he entered the shop he had not made up his mind what he should do. It had been mere impulse and the fever of his brain. As old Berry spoke, however, his course opened out. "I heard. I am a stranger. My fiddle is not here. My fingers itch for the cat-gut. Eh?" The look in old Berry's face softened a little.
A portion of the liver was protruding, and a piece weighing 1 1/4 ounces was removed, complete recovery following. Postempski mentions a case of suture of the liver after a stab-wound. Six sutures of chromicized cat-gut were carefully tightened and fastened with a single loop. The patient left his bed on the sixth day and completely recovered. Gann reports a case of harpoon-wound of the liver.
A piece of cat-gut passing round a large wheel, and then round a small spindle, effects this change. The small balls of sewing cotton, so cheap and so beautifully wound, are formed by a machine on the same principle, and but a few steps more complicated.
